Happy Thanksgiving

We had another busy week in Room 11.  We learned how to make Google slides and pumpkin pie in a cup.  To end the week we made foam turkey's and ate our pumpkin pie!  I just love my class!

Enjoy the pictures and have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

         

         

         

         

         

ECHO

We had so much fun at the ECHO museum yesterday!  Please take the time to ask you child about his/her favorite part.

Chilly Champ Run

What a beautiful morning!  I had a great time running with so many UMS Families!

      

Four Winds

Yesterday, Naythan's mom came into the classroom to teach us all about seeds and how they travel.  Students had a great time identifying seeds, dissecting a Lima bean seed and deciding what kind of a travel agent was needed for certain seeds.  Students always enjoy this hands on experience.

If there is any parent in the class that would like to help Naythan's mom teach Four Winds, she would greatly appreciate the help.  Please contact her if you are interested.

           

           

Chilly Champ Run

This is just a reminder that the Chilly Champ Run is tomorrow morning.  I hope to see you there!

Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Friday in Room 11! We made puppets, read scary stories and ended the day with some delicious treats!  Thank you to all the parents who were able to send in treats or help out during the party. Have a safe and Happy Halloween!   

         

         

         

         

         

Party

Dear Room 11 Parents,
This is just a reminder that our class will be having a Halloween Party on Friday, October 30th from 2:10-2:55 and all parents are welcome to join! I also want to remind everyone that several students in our room have food allergies and all food must be seen by Nurse Kelley before it can come down to the classroom. Thank you!

Conferences

We are now using an online service for parent conference sign-ups. It is the same company Malletts Bay and Colchester Middle School use. To sign-up for a conference go to the UMS website and click on the parent conference link. Conferences are November 23rd & 24th. Remember, you are only allowed to schedule one slot per child. So, you will need to coordinate schedules with your spouse and/or the child’s other parent. If you do not have access to a computer, please call Mrs. Phillips to schedule your time. 264-5959 Two other things to remember when scheduling: There is no space between your child’s first and last name (ex. JohnSmith) and you need to use a foreslash when separating the numbers in the birthdate (ex. 01/02/2011).

Burnham Library

What a beautiful day for a walk.  Room 11 had a great time looking for books at the Burnham Library this afternoon.  We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful library in our town.

        

        

Library Visit

This is just a reminder that our class will be walking to the Burnham Library tomorrow (Thursday, October 22nd) after lunch with Mrs. Howard's class.  We will leave school at 12:45 and will return to school by about 2:15.

Fire Safety Presentation

The Colchester Firefighters came to UMS on Monday to talk about fire safety.  They discussed setting up a meeting place with your family in case you need to leave your house quickly.  The firefighters also put on all their gear to show us that we shouldn't be scared if we ever see a firefighter dressed up with their mask, hood and air tank.  The students enjoyed the visit and learned a lot.  Here are some pictures from our presentation.

      

Four Winds

Last Thursday Room 11 had their first Four Winds lesson.  We learned about bugs and metamorphosis. We had a great time!  Our favorite part was going outside and looking for bugs!

Thank you all for coming to Open House.  The students were so excited to showcase their day.  It was a wonderful turnout!
